Spring Branch ISD names new Memorial High School principal

Lisa Weir has been named as the new principal at Memorial High School. She has 22 total years in education including 17 years in Spring Branch ISD as a teacher, assistant principal and principal at Memorial Middle School.

Principal Weir earned her bachelor of science degree in education from the University of Texas at Austin in 1990. She later completed a master’s degree in educational administration in 1997 through the University of North Texas in Denton.

Her 17 years of service at Memorial Middle School includes five years as a math teacher and coach. She later served five years as an assistant principal and seven years as principal at Memorial Middle.

Elsewhere, she taught for three years at Highland Park High School in Highland Park ISD, then served as dean of schools and associate principal for four years, also at Highland Park High.

“I’m very excited to continue working with the community at the high school level, building a culture that helps prepare our students for their future,” Principal Weir says.

Memorial High School’s entire leadership, faculty and staff are committed to working together to assure that every student is well equipped with the academic and life skills to meet the district’s goal known as Spring Branch T-2-4.

The T-2-4 goal calls for all our students to successfully complete some form of higher education after graduation – military training, technical certification, or a two-year or four-year college degree.

Principal Weir holds the following state certifications: Mid-Management Administrator (Grades PreK-12); Elementary Self-Contained (Grades 1-8); Elementary Mathematics (Grades 1-8); Secondary Health Education (Grades 6-12); and Secondary Physical Education (Grades 6-12).

Outside of school, Principal Weir loves to travel and spend time with family and friends. She replaces William Lakin, who has retired.
